  • Multi-layer guide wire and method of manufacture therefor
    Patent number: 6340441
    Abstract: A multi-layered guide wire that uses separate layers to achieve desired guide wire characteristics. Each of the layers may enhance one or more of the desired guide wire characteristics, with the combination of layers providing the desired combination of guide wire characteristics. Each of the layers may be provided over the entire guide wire, or only over selected portions of the guide wire. Further, selected layers may be co-extruded over the guide wire, which may reduce the manufacturing costs associated therewith.
